Measuring small at 31 weeks :(

Had my check up today, and found I am measuring 28 weeks, I am 31 weeks. The dr is sending us for an ultrasound in a week to check if I have enough amniotic fluid. The baby is moving fine (way more than fine) so I am not worried about something being wrong with the baby. I had my first baby 3 weeks early and was in the hospital 4 weeks earlier because of low waters. That us i had at 36 weeks though so now Im worried about this us :( Is anyone else measuring small? Is there anything I can do to increase my fluids or measurement? I really want to carry this baby to 40 weeks.

I was measuring small for a few appts at like 25 and 29 weeks. Doc was not worried bc she said babies grow at diff rates. Went back at 31 weeks and measured a week ahead! I guess she was right and lo had a big growth spurt!

I measured 28 weeks at 31 weeks also! They sent me in for a fetal growth scan and LO was measuring perfect (5 days earlier then my due date actually), by my next appt. at 33 weeks, I was measuring 33 weeks. Good Luck, I hope it turns out the same for you!!

I am anemic and not really taking my iron supplements, so I started taking them right away. I concentrated on making sure I drank as much water as possible! And I tried to eat more and a at least one healthy meal a day...I honestly think that the baby's position changing all the time affects your fundal measurements, but concentrating on these few things really eased my mind until my appt. It also made me feel like I was doing everything I could to take care of LO, which relieves some of the stress that you feel while your waiting for the US!! Good Luck, I think it will work out fine either way...maybe LO is just a small baby, easier to push out! :)

at my 31 week appointment on the 15th i was measuring 26 weeks and the dr told me it was normal to not measure right all the time. i'm actually really small for only having 8 weeks left, but bc of throwing up all the time i lost 40 lbs in july so not to sure.....
